Bruson Ski Resort Switzerland
Bruson is the quiet, petite, relaxed and often misunderstood sibling of neighbouring Verbier. Small by comparison to the other 4 Vallèes sectors, it is nonetheless fantastic on a powder day when crowds are non-existent, lines are fresh and the tree skiing is sublime. A modern set of ski lifts that is about to get better with a new addition in season 26/27, plus long off-piste freeride routes all the way to the valley when the snow is down to low elevations, make Bruson the Powderhounds' favourite in the region when the winter storms are raging. A standalone affordable lift pass and free parking at La Chable (or just a short step from the train station) sweetens the deal. More information about this European ski resort is coming soon.
